Tiered Pay Rules Explained

Summary

Pay Models allow an Administrator to define how to compute Pay for an MT when the Pay Report is run.  In addition to assigning a Default Pay Model, multiple Pay Models can be applied to an MT by creating a Tiered Pay Rule.  This may be necessary for instances where you need to pay a different rate for a specific Facility, Document Type, Document Type Category, Author, or Author Pool.  For example, if you pay by the report for radiology work, one line rate for Acute Care, and another line rate for Clinic work, this can be accommodated using Tiered Pay Rules. This article explains how to set up and manage Tiered Pay Models for an MT.

When running the Pay report, each job will be evaluated against the rules specified. The evaluation will start at level 1 and continue until a matching rule is found.  If no match is found then the default billing model will be used.
